Bioenergy as a part of future’s clean energy Remigijus Lapinskas, President World Bioenergy Association (WBA) XI Kazenergy Eurasian Forum 2017

Global warming and climate change

CO2 concentrations are increasing

Global temperatures are increasing

Fossil fuels are leading cause of climate change

Global energy mix

Global energy mix dominated by fossil fuels Bioenergy is the largest renewable energy source globally Source: IEA Key World Energy Statistics

Bioenergy technology pathways

Biomass feedstock sources

Renewable Electricity Renewables generated 5 469 TWh of electricity in 2014. Hydro is the largest renewable electricity generating source Bioelectricity is the 3rd largest renewable electricity generating source globally Current production at 493 TWh Renewables added 279TWh to the renewable. Biomass is the 3rd largest. Current production at 493 TWh ~ 11% increase over the previous year.

Renewable heat Direct Heat: 46.7 EJ Derived Heat: 0.95 EJ Decarbonizing the heat sector is dominated by biomass. We divide the heating into derived and direct heat. derived is when it is generated in power plants while direct is the direct use of energy sources in the end consumer for heating. Both the sectors show biomass as the leading solution for heating and will remain so for the near future.

Bioenergy sectors – Liquid Biofuels In 2014, biofuels production reached 125 billion litres. Recently released REN21 report shows it touches 129 litres, but there is some data inconsistency and we decided to stick with IEA data on this. Bioethanol is the largest biofuel sector due to production in USA and Brazil. Biodiesel production at 32 billion litres – predominalty produced in Europe. Advanced biofuels include all that are not bioethanol or biodiesel – production at 16 billion litres. These include HVO, Cellulosic ethanol, renewable diesel etc.

Special sectors Biogas – 58.7 billion Nm3 Pellets – 28 million tonnes Report also has data on special sectors of biogas, pellets and charcoal. Biogas production reached 58.7 billion Nm3 - average growth of 11% since 2000. Pellets are a fast growing commodity which are being tracked recently. 28 billion tonnes are being produced with EU – 28 being the largest producer and importer of pellets. Outside the EU - 28, Japan and South Korea are the largest importers accounting for about 2 million tonnes of imports. Recently we were in Japan where the news was the demand for pellets is about 25 million tonnes which is almost the global production of pellets. That is a key sector and geography to keep track of. Finally, charcoal production maintained its leve l at 52.2 million tonnes. We pointed it out last year and I want to mention it again this year about the significance of his number. In comparison, it is about 2 times as much as pellets production, but if you consider the actual energy content of the wood used to convert to pellets and charcoal, it might even be 4 times. Most of the production is in Africa – unssustainable and has to be improved. Biogas – 58.7 billion Nm3 Pellets – 28 million tonnes Charcoal – 52 million tonnes

Biomass potential towards 2035 Significant potential to expand the current use of biomass to at least 150 EJ by 2035 sustainably.

Tools to increase renewable energy sources

Tools – Fossil Exit Strategy World needs an exit strategy to leave fossil fuels, step by step, year by year A minimum reduction path would be to near zero by 2050 Each country also needs a strategy for fast deployment of renewable energy Rapid mobilization of biomass from all sectors No new investments in fossil fuels

Tools – Carbon Tax Carbon tax - key instrument for energy transition Benefits Easy to apply and calculate Tax neutral Efficient Global efforts undergoing to apply carbon tax
